  • LIVERPOOL of the NORTH”: the STORY of OTTAWA, CANADA’S MUSIC, 1960’S–TODAY
    “LIVERPOOL OF THE NORTH”: THE STORY OF OTTAWA, CANADA’s MUSIC, 1960’s–TODAY. EXCERPTS FROM ALAN CHRISMAN’S BOOK: “IT’S A LONG WAY HOME” Ottawa had quite the music scene in the 60’s. Part of this was because Canada and Ottawa had more direct connections to England than the U.S., so they knew about The Beatles before the rest of North America. And their 60’s bands, were very adept at re-creating that British pop sound. In fact, Richie Patterson, a mainstay and drummer in many of its bands, called Ottawa the “Liverpool of The North”. Ritchie went to Fisher Park school with Paul Anka, backing him up in the Bobbysoxers. Anka was one of the first to make it out of Ottawa and become a teen sensation with “Diana” and “Puppy Love” in the 50’s, before moving to Vegas and writing “My Way” for Frank Sinatra. Richie’s “The Esquires” were first influenced by Cliff Richard and the Shadows right before The Beatles took over. Scores of Ottawa bands formed and recorded songs and some albums. There were several places to play like the Auditorium, Pineland and clubs like the Chaudiere across the river in in Hull, Quebec and several church basements. And hundreds of kids would attend. Ottawa even had its own version of American Bandstand, Saturday Date, hosted by Peter Jennings who would go to ABC News in New York. The best of these got recording contracts like The Staccato’s (who later became The Five Man Electrical Band) when they moved to California with their international hits “ Signs” ( ‘Signs Signs ,everywhere, telling me what to do’) and The Cooper Bros.

  • SPEAKING NOTES Mayor Jim Watson Budget 2019 Tabling Building a City with Better Roads, Housing, Transit and Safe Communities Wednesday, February 6, 2019 ********
    SPEAKING NOTES Mayor Jim Watson Budget 2019 Tabling Building a City with Better Roads, Housing, Transit and Safe Communities Wednesday, February 6, 2019 ******** Good morning everyone. Bonjour tout le monde. Today we are pleased to table the draft 2019 Budget for consideration and public input. The tabling of the Budget is the single most important discussion we have as a City each year. Page 1 of 54 C’est la discussion la plus importante que nous avons à chaque année. I had the pleasure of attending various ward consultations and I found that residents often have competing expectations regarding the City’s budget. However, they are also realistic about the City’s fiscal capacity – they know we have to set a limited number of priorities while living within our means. This year is particularly challenging given the compressed timeline resulting from the municipal election. Page 2 of 54 I am pleased to report that we are bringing forward a budget for 2019 that delivers on key commitments, namely: • reducing our infrastructure gap by boosting our spending on roads and sidewalks; • providing more affordable housing; and • making our communities safer and more resilient. Avec le budget 2019, nous investissons davantage dans nos routes et trottoirs et dans le logement abordable, et nous rendrons notre communauté plus sécuritaire. I want to start by sharing highlights of how Budget 2019 can help improve the lives of Ottawa residents. Page 3 of 54 Under Council’s direction, I believe we have assembled a spending plan for 2019 that balances key needs and priorities across our growing city.

  • Ottawa Experiences Ottawa Best the Ottawa’S Other Bond with Nature Is Its Rivers
    THE BEST OF 1 OTTAWA s a native of Ottawa, I’ve seen this city evolve over the past 5 decades from a sleepy civil-service Atown to a national capital that can proudly hold its own with any city of comparable size. The official population is more than 800,000, but the central core is compact and its skyline relatively short. Most Ottawans live in suburban, or even rural, communities. The buses are packed twice a day with government workers who live in communities like Kanata, Nepean, Gloucester, and Orleans, which were individually incorporated cities until municipal amalgamation in 2001. Although there are a number of residential neighborhoods close to downtown, you won’t find the kind of towering condominiums that line the downtown streets of Toronto or Vancouver. As a result, Ottawa is not the kind of city where the downtown side- walks are bustling with people after dark, with the excep- tion of the ByWard Market and Elgin Street. One could make the case that Ottawa would be very dull indeed were it not for Queen Victoria’s decision to anoint it capital of the newly minted Dominion of Canada. Thanks to her choice, tourists flock to the Parlia- ment Buildings, five major national museums, a handful of government- funded festivals, and the Rideau Canal. Increasingly, tourists are spreading COPYRIGHTEDout beyond the well-established attractions MATERIAL to discover the burgeoning urban neighborhoods like Wellington West and the Glebe, and venturing into the nearby countryside. For visitors, Ottawa is an ideal walking city. Most of the major attrac- tions—and since this is a national capital, there are many—are within easy walking distance of the major hotels.
